If/when you update these, take a look at the drivers/pci/ subject line
history and capitalize these to match.

We haven't really used the "devres" prefix in drivers/pci.

The de facto convention is:

  - "PCI/AER:" for major features defined by the PCIe base spec (AER,
    DPC, VGA, ASPM, PM, etc).

  - "PCI: iproc:" for controller drivers (iproc, dwc, qcom, mvebu,
    etc).

  - "PCI:" for everything else
